A few days ago I featured a video of James Hillier tearing around the Isle of Man on a Kawasaki Ninja H2R with an incredible sound. Turns out James has discovered another use for the H2R – it’s not just a race bike, it’s an alarm clock! I feel bad for the victim of this prank.
1973 Rickman Zundapp 125
This is one of the more expensive Rickman 125s I’ve encountered, but it’s definitely one of the nicest. Let’s see if someone thinks the condition is worth the price premium…
Canadian Air Force – 1964 Triumph TRW
The Triumph TRW was built for use by the British military in WWII – only problem was that the war had been won by the time the bike had actually been released in 1948. Still, between 15 and 16 thousand were built by the time production ended in 1964, but nearly all of them left the UK.
In France – 1978 Bimota YB3
View PostAMA Championship Winner – 2012 HD XR1200
Post Listing Update: Danny’s XR did not get any action at the opening ask of $9,000. Before you ask – no, the trophy isn’t included.
1972 OSSA 250 MAR
The OSSA MAR (Mick Andrews Replica) was built after OSSA hired the English rider to design and ride a new trials bike – he went on to win two consecutive European Trials Championships and three consecutive Scottish Six Days Trials with it. In 1973, Andrews moved to Yamaha, but OSSA kept producing this bike into the late 70s and it …
1984 Honda CB125S
In the seller’s words, “you will not get anywhere fast. Half the speedometer is for show.” But as long as you don’t mind a general lack of speed, her’s your chance to get a rare, tiny Honda that’s waiting to become a classic.
Rare Maxi Motard – 2012 Aprilia Dorsoduro 1200
To me, the best thing about supermotards is how light they are, which is why Aprilia tries to distance the 490-pound Dorsoduro from this category by calling the bike a ‘maxi motard’. Either way, it’s a hefty naked bike that’s fast, fun, and very, very rare.
No Reserve – Modded 1975 BMW R60/90
This bike started as a R60/6 but it was given the heads, pistons, cylinders, crank, and camshaft from a R90S – the work was done by a former BMW dealership. Combined with a 33/11 final drive gearing, this bike is claimed to be very quick while still maintaining ‘classic BMW ride quality’. Even better? It’s got no reserve, so this …
Flight Cycles – 2005 Ducati Monster Custom
Post Sale Update: This custom Monster sold for $6,700. Yesterday, I featured Ducati’s own take on a tribute to the 900SS Darmah. Today, here’s another take from aftermarket firm Flight Cycles (looks like they’re no longer in business?)
Eddie Lawson Rep – 1983 Kawasaki KZ1000R ELR
One of 750 ever built, the Kawasaki KZ1000R ELR (Eddie Lawson Replica) was a limited edition homage to the mount of Eddie Lawson, 4x winner of the World Championship (among many other titles). It was aggressively set up, and with the exception of subpar shocks, consumers and reviewers loved this bike.
Model 188 – 1977 Bultaco Alpina 350
After the success of the Sherpa T, Bultaco released the Alpina 250, a bike specifically built for enduro riders. After 3 years, Bultaco offered a more powerful 350 variant, which you see in front of you.
WWII – Gest Motor Scooter
6-17 Update: Now this Gest is on eBay, with no reserve! Someone’s getting a weird scooter – get your chance here on eBay. Based out of Philadelphia, the Gest Motor Scooter Manufacturing Company made a variety of scooters that were marketed as economical forms of transportation.
1 of 100 – 2007 Ducati Sport 1000 Special Edition
View Post2001 Harley-Davidson FXDP Dyna Defender
When people think of Harley police bikes, the Dyna platform doesn’t usually spring to mind. Yet between 2001-2004, Harley sold a police-issue Dyna (called the FXDP Dyna Defender) that did not get much love, making it a cool and rare find now.
